Hi I’m Rick a Level 1 Professional Pickleball Registry Certified Coach who loves helping players unlock “lightbulb moments” on the court. I work with all ages and skill levels, from true beginners who have never picked up a paddle to developing players looking to add strategy, consistency, and confidence to their game. My coaching style is positive, energetic, and highly supportive. I’m big on fundamentals, proper technique, and injury-prevention, and I’ll make sure you leave every session feeling more skilled, more confident, and more in love with pickleball than when you arrived. I currently teach private pickleball lessons, clinics that focus on developing technical skills and applying them to tactical game situations. I work with both children and adults through one-on-one coaching and group instruction. My teaching style emphasizes confidence, communication, and steady progress. I love adapting lesson plans to ensure each participant is challenged appropriately, whether they are brand-new beginners or competitive players looking to improve performance. I focus on simple, clear instruction that players can instantly apply, and I tailor every session to how you learn. Whether you want to improve your grip, footwork, serve, dink game, third-shot drop, or overall strategy, I’ll show you exactly what to do — and why it works! If you’re ready to learn the game the right way — and have a blast doing it — I’d love to work with you. Let’s play! Rick Adamy PPR Level 1 Certified Coach Serving the Tampa Bay area

"The lesson with Alex was very good, I don’t expect dramatic changes overnight I appreciated how he explained some key aspects of my swing clearly, which got me thinking differently about my approach. I might need a little more practice, but I think I’ll see progress if I keep working at it. If you're looking to improve your basics, Alex's lesson is worth trying.
Alex

If you’re serious about your game, you’re in the right place. I specialize in developing players who want more than just drills. My training focuses on game situations, decision-making, and building skills that actually show up when it matters. Players I’ve worked with have elevated their handle, improved their shot, and gained the confidence to compete at the next level—including pros preparing to play overseas. Every workout has purpose. Every rep has intent. Every session moves you forward.
"Kenu motivated me throughout my workout especially when I was tired. He helped me in my weak points in ball handling with my off hand, strong passes, and footwork while I was dribbling. Overall a really awesome and down to earth dude.
Kenu
I bring 19 years of experience playing and learning the game of golf, with a background as a college-level athlete and collegiate golf team player, and extensive competitive experience. During high school, my team qualified for the state championships, and during that same period I competed in high-level matches, including a head-to-head match against Sam Horsfield, giving me early exposure to elite competition and pressure situations. While I have a strong understanding of the technical side of the golf swing, my teaching approach is not overly technical. I’m a feel-based player, and just like I play the game, I teach it—focusing on feel, awareness, and simple keys that translate naturally to the course. I believe great golf comes from understanding what to feel, not being overloaded with mechanics. A major part of my instruction focuses on the mental side of the game, which I believe is often overlooked. I’ve studied golf psychology extensively, including Bob Rotella’s golf psychology work, and I help students develop confidence, commitment, and trust under pressure. I’ve worked with golfers of all skill levels, helping students improve ball-striking, consistency, confidence, and course management. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, emphasizing changes that are easy to understand, repeat, and hold up on the course. My goal is simple: help you play better golf on the course, not just hit good shots on the range. If you’re serious about improving and want coaching that blends experience, feel-based instruction, and a strong mental approach, I’d love to work with you.
"Amazing! Loved his coaching ! Super amazing skills :)
